made motion for a nonsuit, claiming
that the City Auditor could not be re-
strained from paying the salaries of acting

The objection was overruled.
The first witness for the defense was ]
W. Wilson, an ex-Fire Commissioner. who
testified that during his incumbency meet
ings were called by the President of the
Board.
The next witness was G. W.. Jackson,
the Secretary of the Board. He became
confused at the outset and was confused
during the entire cross-eXaminatlon, which
lasted for several hours, often making con-
Trajectory statements, which he would
afterwards endeavor to harmonic bv stat

witness, and proved a second Jackson. He
admits that he, and be alone, called for the
